Hello, my name is Juli I got a hatchling Hermann's tortoise January 24th of this year ( I'm pretty it is a she) her name is Viola. I have done a lot of research and have 75 gallon tank with the appropriate lights. I'm wondering about the right diet! She loves her weekly fruit I give her a small piece of fruit (either watermelon, strawberry, tomato) I was wondering what else she can eat for her weekly fruit! Most of her diet is dark leafy greens I was wondering if chard is ok for her I can't find much on it on the internet. She loves kale but I'm worried she might eat to much of it because if I give it to her with lettuce she eats the kale and leaves the lettuce. She doesn't like grass at least when I have feed it to her she hasn't touched it. She like dandelions but I heard they cause issues with calcium absorption like spinach which she does not eat. I planted a garden today ( all of my cold crops like kale, carrots add beets. She also seems to dislike carrots she won't touch them. I just want to make sure she eats right! O ya and I give her calcium supplements with vitamin D. I used to feed her cactus pads but I wasn't sure if the are good for her so I stopped.
